What is MRCR v2 256K (8-needle)?

MRCR v2 (Multi-Round Co-reference Resolution) tests memory inside long conversations: several similar hidden facts ('needles', here eight) are buried in tens of thousands of tokens of chat history and the model must return the right one, including its context. The context length is part of the benchmark name (128K / 256K).

What does it test?

MRCR v2 256K (8-needle) measures reading and reasoning over very long inputs. In detail, it checks:

  • distinguishing several very similar hidden facts
  • reconstructing exact context of a conversation snippet
  • faithful attention across 128K-256K tokens
  • reliability when distractors deliberately look alike

How to read the score

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.
